Painting Description
''No. 27 Scenes from the Life of Christ: 11. Expulsion of the Money-changers from the Temple (detail 1)'' is a fresco by the Italian artist Giotto di Bondone, created in 1304 as part of a larger series depicting the life of Christ. This work is located in the Scrovegni Chapel (Cappella degli Scrovegni) in Padua, Italy, which houses a cycle of frescoes by Giotto completed between 1303 and 1305, considered one of his masterpieces and a seminal work of the early Renaissance.
The fresco illustrates the biblical episode from the Gospels where Jesus expels the merchants and money-changers from the Temple in Jerusalem, an event that is seen as a demonstration of Jesus' divine authority and his disdain for the material corruption within a sacred space. Giotto's depiction is celebrated for its dramatic intensity, emotional resonance, and the innovative use of space and perspective that was groundbreaking at the time.
In this particular scene, Giotto captures the moment with a vivid sense of movement and expression. Christ is shown as a dynamic figure, driving out the money-changers with a whip, while the various figures react in a range of emotions from shock to indignation. The fresco is notable for its realistic portrayal of the human figures and the use of chiaroscuro to create a three-dimensional effect, which was a significant departure from the flatter, more stylized Byzantine art that preceded Giotto's work.
The ''Expulsion of the Money-changers from the Temple'' is part of a larger narrative cycle that covers the walls of the Scrovegni Chapel, including scenes from the lives of the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ. Giotto's frescoes in the chapel are widely regarded as a turning point in the history of Western art, marking a shift towards naturalism and the depiction of human emotion, and setting the stage for the Renaissance that would flourish in the following centuries.
